High Wycombe is certainly not the most crime-ridden part of the country, but even our pleasant town is not completely free from nastiness.

According to the latest data released by Police.uk, 269 crimes were reported in the south side of High Wycombe in March, roughly spanning from New Road to Wycombe Marsh.

Of all these reported incidents, 95 were classed as violence or sexual offences, 32 were public order offences and 31 were recorded as criminal damage or arson.

After analysing all the data, the Bucks Free Press has calculated which streets saw the most reported incidents of crime in March 2022, and should potentially be avoided.
